Tres cool. The best DC strip clubs were always within walking distance of the Capitol.

And K street is always where you’re guaranteed to find the prostitutes. During the day it’s the lobbyists. At night it’s the hookers. Right on the street. Just drive by flash some money and you’re in. Day or night.

Under the 1976 National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601-1651), Congress is required to review presidentially declared emergencies. Specifically, “not later than six months after a national emergency is declared, and not later than the end of each six-month period thereafter that such emergency continues, each House of Congress shall meet to consider a vote on a joint resolution to determine whether that emergency shall be terminated.” Over the past eight years, Congress has failed to obey its own law, a fact that casts doubt on the legality of the state of emergency.
